I don't know what this file is supposed to contain by default.

Mine only contains these two lines:

# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or
# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.

I *think* (but may be wrong) that it shouldn't matter because loopback 
should be configured by default (anyway, loopback works - only the 
services don't get started).

At all rates, right or wrong, I haven't edited this file by hand.
